Taji by Shulton c1964

Taji by Shulton: launched in 1964. The perfume is named for the Persian area near Baghdad.

Fragrance Composition:

So what does it smell like? It is classified as a floral oriental fragrance for women, a blend of fragrant oils from India and the Middle East. It can be described as a spicy floral with a touch of sweetness, similar to Elizabeth Arden's Blue Grass but with a strong carnation note.

"A delicately balanced blend of verdant florals, sophisticated herbs and other rare and rarely used scents, hauntingly beautiful Taji is what traditional perfumes are not. Taji is at last, a perfume that lasts. Taji perfume, perfume oil, cologne and complete collection of delights for body and bath."

Vogue, 1967:

"Taji has rediscovered this formula and, inspired by it, present Taji Chiffon Spray Cologne — for women who want to feel like English flowers, while others are wilting away. Taji Chiffon Spray Cologne is starting summer now at fine stores, $5.00."

Fate of the Fragrance:

Taji was discontinued by Shulton, but a version is now made and distributed by Hazel Bishop New York.
